Air-to-air variant of BrahMos soon: Sivathanu Pillai

[IndianTiger]

Must be a publishing mistake , its practically impossible and useless to have an air to air cruise missile it must be A2G variant.

ya valid question...........

 

[Kompromat]

No, Actually an Air to Air Version of Brahmos is In development and Submarine launch missile is Under development, its Very confusing indeed...

I cannot understand the combat use of a supersonic air to air cruise missile because isn't it those BVRAAMs doing the same job with three times more speed than the Brahmos and greater range and agility ?

Exactly, thats Certainly why its Bothering many of us here.... I think they might be making a totally different Missile Under the Name Brahmos... Which sure is acceptable

 

[HongWu]

shouldn't it be air-to-ground than air-to air.

Air to air Brahmos for flying aircraft carriers

 

[GLOBAL HAWK]

The theory i get to hear about 9 times the destructive power of any cruise missile, Did he base this on E=mC2 ??

just kidding !

Its 1/2(mv2) i.e kinetic energy. If mass of missile assumed to be identical then K.E = v2

THE RANGE which is suppose to be biggest problem for the brahmos .

is infect more of a cutain kept on it. we really dont know the range since its done up with russia - india had to keep it under 300 km.

but with a little more help or may be already existing range -it can come up to 100o km ?

DRDO is actually working on a 550 Km range version of brahmos with a speed of 1.5 Mach

 

[MST]

What advantage air to ground version of Brahmos have than ground to ground?

More range off course and?

The main advantage of Air launched Brahmos is in the Anti Ship role.
The combination of Brahmos mounted on Su 30MKI with range of over 3000 Kms (internal fuel) will be a night mare for the surface ships of any enemy Navy in the Indian Ocean.

 

[Agnostic_Indian]

i too think it must be a printing mistake never heard of air to AIR.

 

[blackops]

Will it be economical to destroy a jet by a brahmos when it can be done by a r 73 ot would be better to develope a a2g so it can destroy ships subs and high value target

Brahmos air to air

Is there some alien mother ship you want to shoot down?

 

[shrivatsa]

^^^^^^^^^awacs platforms

 

[EastWest]

^^^

We dont need a brahmos to shoot down a Plane(even a plane as big as our IL-78)...one shot at any wing will bring down any plane

 

[JonAsad]

^^^^^^^^^awacs platforms

AWACS counter measures will be deployed and AWACs would be maneuvering, can a app 2 ton brahmos will be agile enough specially at supersonic speed?

Brahmos air to air

Is there some alien mother ship you want to shoot down?

Yeah, the starship USS Haider Ali of the Gagarin fleet!!
Relax there is no A2A Brahmos.
